If any person neglects or refuses to install the headgate, measuring device or flume, as required by NRS 536.010 , the State Engineer may, in the discretion of the State Engineer, install the headgate, measuring device or flume, as the case may be, and in the first instance charge the actual cost thereof to the water distribution account and thereafter present an itemized statement of the charge to the board of county commissioners of the county wherein the charge and expenses were incurred. The board of county commissioners shall thereupon present a bill for the expenses to the person liable therefor under this section and NRS 536.010 and 536.020 , and if that person neglects for 30 days thereafter to pay it, the bill and costs become a lien upon the lands and property of the person so liable for the payment of the bill, and must be collected as delinquent taxes against the lands and property are collected.
